Efficiency of Inhomogeneous Thermoelectric Generators
We revisit the classical problem of the efficiency of inhomogeneous thermoelectric generators. The effects of different physical parameters on the efficiency of a generator are studied by solving the Domenicali’s equation numerically. It is found that the efficiency of a thermoelectric generator is insensitive to both the electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity. However, the efficiency ...
متن کاملImproving the Efficiency of Thermoelectric Generators by Using Solar Heat Concentrators
In this paper, we propose a method of improving the efficiency of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) by using a lens to concentrate heat on the heat source of a TEG. Initial experiments performed using discrete components show about 60mV increase in the amount of voltage generated when using a magnifying lens. Simulation results on the proposed TEG configuration exhibit up to 16% efficiency when ...
متن کاملMagnetostatic Cleanliness of the Radioisotope Thermoelectric
Abstmcr. The Cassini spaceaaft , launched in October 1997 to reach Saturn in 2004, carries two magnetometer xperiments on a lo-meter boo”, one at the mid-section of the boom and the other at the end of the boom. In order to gather valid scientific magnetic field data and avoid electromagnetic nterference, the spacecraft had to comply with stringent magnetostatic cleanliness requirements. Amidst...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
Dispenser Printed Thermoelectric Energy Generators
Thermoelectric energy generators are attractive as potential energy harvesters for converting waste thermal energy into electrical power. Optimized thermoelectric device designs require 100-200 μm element thicknesses currently unachievable with common manufacturing technologies. This work presents both a unique direct-write dispenser printing technique and novel polymer-composite thermoelectric...
